What's Eating You is an American reality documentary series about people with eating disorders. The series premiered on October 13, 2010, on the E! cable network.[1][2]

Production

The reality documentary series was announced in April 2010.[1] The six-part television series features people who have compulsive eating disorders;[3] each episode introduces two people whose lives are threatened by harmful eating habits and features doctors trying to help them to overcome the disorders.[4]

JD Roth, one of the producers of the series, said, "One might assume that a show about severe eating disorders would focus solely on participants' bizarre behavior around food; but this show really is about the incredible fortitude and strength of people with intense obstacles to overcome [...]. We're very proud to be working with E! [...] in offering hope and a path to recovery."[1]
